One misconception, Mengak says, is that rabbits
dig burrows. North American species sometimes use
ready-made holes, but they don't create them.
No-bunny:
Mengak suggests two humane options:
* Clear debris and undergrowth.
* Spray deer and rabbit repellant in your garden.
To bunnies, it smells like sulphur, but humans generally
can't detect it.
" Remember, most of these animals have a sense
of smell that's 100 or 1,000 times better than ours.
It may smell bad to them, but [to us] it really doesn't
smell like a rotten egg sitting in your trash
can in your kitchen because you forgot
to take out the trash last night, " Mengak
says. The downside is that you'll have to
reapply it after every watering or rain
shower. And don't spray it directly on edible
food crops.
* For a more permanent solution, erect

compromise?
Protect your garden
with fencing but
leave an unkempt
yard area as well.
a sturdy fence around your yard. A two-foot-tall section
of chicken wire will keep bunnies out of your
tomatoes and other veggies. Just take it down at the
end of the growing season. " Rabbits don't climb like
raccoons do, " Mengak says. " And they
don't jump like deer. "
For the best of both worlds, protect
your garden with fencing but leave some
unkempt grass in your backyard. And
don't worry if the bunnies you spotted
last year are nowhere in sight. Says Mengak, " Just because
they disappear doesn't mean there's necessarily
a rabbit disaster. The habitat changes, and the rabbits
change, and they go somewhere else to live. "
